Transaction Fees:

When registering for pay by phone parking service with Parkmobile via our website you're given two membership options: "Preferred Membership", which carries with it a monthly fee, and "Basic Membership", which has no monthly fee. In your area, it currently makes the most sense for you to select the "Basic Membership" instead of the "Preferred Membership". Since your transaction fees are the same with either membership type, you wouldn’t benefit from the "Preferred Membership". In the future there will be many more benefits included with the "Preferred Membership" which may influence your decision to choose it for a monthly fee instead of the no monthly fee "Basic Membership".

By default when you register via any other method other than the website, your membership level is set to "Basic Membership".

Additionally, there is no cost to download one of our mobile apps and no cost to register via a mobile app or online.

The transaction fees for this area are as follows:

Basic Membership - $0.62 per transaction

Zone Number Information:

Zone numbers are a critical part of your transaction and must be recorded correctly in order for your parking session to be identified correctly by the parking enforcement officers.

Can transactions in zones in this area be stopped? Extended? Why or why not?

You can not stop a session once started. You must select the amount of time you want in advance and pay for that time with your credit card. If you chose more time than you needed, you will not be able to stop the session or get a refund.

You are able to extend your parking time, if you see that you need more than the amount you initially paid for, as long as you haven't already chosen the maximum allowed. In order to extend a transaction it must still be active and not yet expired. Example: if the maximum is 6 hours, and you chose 1 hour, you can then extend your session before it expires for up to an additional 5 hours. Note that extensions are separate transactions, and therefore each extension carries a transaction fee as well.
